I take 10 g a day and have maybe noticed muscles seem to bulk more after a hard strength workout. But other than that I feel about the same.

- vkazanov 4mo agoCreatine is known to give you some more energy. Like, 3%-5%. That's just an extra rep, hardly noticeable.
- wtetzner 4mo agoAnd extra rep seems like it could be a big deal when strength training.
- vkazanov 4mo agoYeah, sure. The point is that it doesn't work like those Witcher potions. Nothing changes here and now.
- matwood 4mo agoI wouldn't say hardly noticeable especially for experienced lifters. After training for a few years those extra reps and slightly more weight have compounding effects over time.
- vkazanov 4mo agoTrue. What i am saying is that one has to have a good feeling of what this extra rep is like. Personally, i only saw that it works over time because of my journal. Most people dont do records.
- YZF 4mo agoMore water in the muscles is another effect. Also placebo. I do notice I'm a bit heavier when I'm on creatine.
- frez1 4mo agoI've recently started taking it and I've definitely noticed improved cognitive function. obviously all anecdotal and likely other contributing factors too (have been exercising more)..
